ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The 18th annual running of the Mayor’s Corporate Challenge 5K race and fundraiser takes place on Aug. 28 in downtown Alpharetta. About 800 hundred runners are expected for this year’s event.

“Being a part of the Mayor’s Corporate Challenge gives us a great opportunity to merge several of our key objectives as an employee benefits firm,” said Jack Bruce, chief operating officer at BIS Benefits. “It fits nicely into our internal wellness program.”

While the Corporate Challenge is an event for the business community, with at least 50 corporate teams participating, the public is invited. Food Truck Alley and live music will kick off at 5 p.m. Pre-race registration begins at 6 p.m., and the race is at 7:30 p.m.

There will be a sponsor expo and giveaways as well as a free kids’ fun run. To register or for more information, go to www.mayorschallenge.com.
